Camp

I love Summer here in our town.  A lot of people with kids skip town for the Summer each year and I totally understand – we travel for at least part of the Summer every two years.  On the years we settle in for the Summer, I have grown to love the quiet alternative rhythm, the people we connect with because of the lull, and the push/chance to be creative.  Because of their ages, I find myself calling everything we do to fill our days “camp”…art camp, soccer camp, math camp…It’s just an excuse to focus in on something and try all the things we don’t have time for during the school year…  The boys also got to attend a real camp : a two-week soccer day camp where many of the counselors were from our national women’s soccer team.  So cool.  They played hard and made great friends.  Still, we love the return to our little farm space and the homemade Summer rhythm here too.
